So, he said that my name has been used to apply for a credit card and that he will file a report to Bank Negara to further investigate.

After 10 minutes, I received a call from an officer from Bank Negara.

A Chinese guy too with a very bad Malay accent.

I was so angry because it was hard to understand him which made me thinj, 'why the hell do Ambank and Bank Negara hired an officer for public relation with a very bad Bahasa Melayu conduct and refusing to speak English too.

He told me not to make any transaction within this 3 days and he will send reports to me in 7 days. If I filed a false report regarding the Ambank Credit Card, I will be punished. The conversation will be recorded for court case.

So I asked him,'how can I be sure that you are from Bank Negara when your line is so bad?'

He snapped back by saying that it was my line because his was fine.

After the phone call, I called Bank Negara and a Malay lady answered. Her line was so clear. I told her about what has happened and she said that he was the scam. I wasn't the first one who called for this and they have made an arrest in Johor according to the Star today. She told me that those people have my information already that was why they called to check and to scare me. Usually people would start transferring money or make transactions which will result in the loss of money. Or reset account password.

I told her that I did not give my account numbers or password.

She assured me that they can't do anything with that information as long as I do not reset my password or make transactions for now.

She said I was lucky because others have gone into a state of panic and started moving money or resetting password which resulted in the loss of huge amount.

More of this scam groups will be arrested she said because police are following the case so closely.

And she reminded me to spread the words. If anyone wants to know more, you guys can go to the Bank Negara website and it will be explained.
